I don’t know if he’s good or not. There’s zero chance anyone can tell based on the chances he’s got since he’s been here. And if you try, you’re lying. There hasn’t been one good ball thrown to him.
If he was any good Carolina wouldn’t have traded a 4th when they gave up a second round pick for him in 2022. When we traded for Amari during the season he immediately made an impact. Granted Dak was playing but even with Rush we should be getting more from Mingo than a couple of catches. Many didn’t like the trade and so far it hasn’t paid dividends.

He should be used how we attempted to use gallup. He's bigger , faster with a higher vertical. Give him more slants and deep routes.
Yeah but last game he wouldn’t jump for the ball. Plus he doesn’t look like he uses his hands. He’s catching everything with his body.

Mingo needs ball placement because he can’t separate. He can’t out jump a lot of cornerbacks at the nfl level like he did in college. He’ll never be much more than a blocker. He was overdrafted by a couple rounds.

I don't think Rush can get him the ball deep. But I'm with you it would be nice to get him a bigger evaluation on what he can bring.

I really dont know what they saw in this guy. He runs bad or wrong routes and cant catch the ball. Its not like he is a rookie anymore. Guy played 2 years already. Should have at least a grasp of of what it means being an NFL WR.

Now with cooks back we have some wrs to choose from.

Id rather have a little bit more of turpin. The guy also has problems catching the ball but at least if he does he takes it to the house on a regular basis.

We traded for guys like Lance & Mingo because they look the part on paper and in warm ups. But there’s no there, there.

Mingo has to make plays. He has made a few catches but has not broken any tackles. Supposedly he is like a running back as a receiver. Mingo supposedly is a big athletic receiver. I know the passes were horrible but he needs to come down with one of them. For example Tolbert was thrown a horrible pass and caught it. Mingo has five games to make some plays. Hopefully he can do it. So far he has shown he might be our best wideout blocker including the tight ends but he needs to make some plays with the ball.

He's sucked since he came into the NFL 2 years ago.

I could care less what he did for Carolina, he is a Cowboy and he needs to do more than block. Break a tackle or come down with a deep pass. Mingo has to show something in the next 5 games.

If there was ever a player that does not deserve more targets it is Mingo. The guy has done nothing except that once upon a time Jerry kind of liked him.

Let's just keep spending 4th round picks on guys we don't use....sound strategy
